After a long, weary flight from New York back to Salt Lake airport, we were eager to have a quiet evening. We had just spent 5 days with our family in Western New York over spring break. Now I know what you’re thinking it is NOT New York City – we are talking fields, farms…
Grain-Free Pulled Mexican Chicken Pizza (DF, Nut-Free)
Filipino Braised Pork and Potato Stew (GF, Soy-Free, Oil-Free)
Its finals week and things just get crazy. Right now, I would do anything to be on a plane to Hawaii or to Bali to enjoy the beach and some good food. Or maybe something not that extravagant something as simple as being able to cuddle on the couch with a pillow, enjoy a delicious bowl…
Indian Chicken and Sweet Potato Curry: Restaurant-Quality (Paleo, GF, Oil-Free)
I love Sundays just because it has always been a “special” day for me. A day of rest, a day to spend time with close friends and family, and a day to be at church. Sundays (or the sabbath) is the day I find myself reflecting constantly. I think about things I’ve done during the…
Easiest Gluten-Free Thin Crust Pizzas Two Ways (Grain Free, Vegan, Oil-Free)
Smooth. Crumbly. Soft. Mmm.. I just the love the feeling of dough in my hands. Whilst most people may enjoy running or watching movies to relax, I prefer to be in my kitchen. It is my safe haven. My Personal Niche. My space for creativity. Whilst kneading and working the dough, I found myself thinking…
Tom Kha Gai (GF, Paleo, Oil-Free)
It was Sunday afternoon. A perfect, glorious spring day. Zoe and I were still in our pajamas sitting on the couch comfortably watching a 2-hour broadcast of talks given by our church’s leaders – apostles and prophet. Its an absolute highlight of the year for us because this only happens every 6 months! The sky…
Dakjjim- Braised Chicken with Vegetables 닭찜 (GF, Oil-Free)
“Two Potatoes. Half a bag of Carrots. Cucumber. 1/4 tub of kimchi. One Onion…” The bare, empty shelves in our fridge seemed rather unwelcoming and pathetic. I was a little surprised. I swear that there was food there before. Somehow, food just disappears so quickly. Oh boy. This is not good. Zoe and I were hosting a…
Chinese Rice Porridge (GF, Oil-Free)
The sky was bright, and the morning rays of sunlight were streaming through the large windows. I couldn’t believe that it was morning. I turned over and pulled my warm covers over my head hoping it would swallow me up. Then I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was my sister. I groaned and…
Paleo Dak Galbi: Ricecake-Less Sweet & Spicy Korean Chicken Stir fry (GF,Vegan Options, Oil-free)
Korean Dak Galbi! What is that? I have heard bulgogi, japchae, dukbokki, soondobu jigae but not this! I had never ever heard of this dish until I saw this delicious looking picture on beyond kimchee’s blog. I think this dish originates Chunchon, Gangwon Province (Korea). Apparently, there is even a whole street dedicated to restaurants that…
Simple Garlic Herb Roasted Salmon (GF, Oil-Free, Paleo)
If you have to rank my favorite foods of all time salmon would definitely be up there. As a young child, I was never allowed to eat sashimi. I would watch my parents in envy savoring the pieces of raw fish with sashimi. It just seemed good. So the first time I tried raw fish my…
3 Ingredient Frozen Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana Bites (GF, Vegan)
Stressed = Desserts I think that is my motto in life. There is something about sugary, sweet treats that just makes you feel so much better. One of the hardest things to give up on this gluten-free, lactose-free, oil-free diet is refined sugar desserts. I love my cheesecakes, pastries, tarts…sometimes I find myself wishing I…
